- There is an old Fort in our farm at home. It is situated in the townland of Killaha. It is situated in a field named Cummer. It is situated about five yards from one fence and ten yards from the other fence. It is not in the middle of the Cummer.It is about five hundred yards from our house. It is about five feet high and is sloping on the sides. There is a little bank all round the top of it and there is a deep hollow in the middle of it.
